    We spend a lot of time discussing the wonderful presentations of all participants - and everytime we were about to make up our minds, the Jarl butted in ...
    So we finally decided to distinguish prose from poetry. Yet, we couldn't agree over a ranking - so only a winner in each category will be handed a horn of honor for his presentation and all the others may pride themselves on having entertained the Jarl of Hedeby and his guests.

    First about the poetry entries:

    The Jarl of Hedeby hands a Horn of Honor to

    Amleth Yngling
    for his poem
    The Lay of the Keepers of the Ford

    Then the Jarl walks from one participant to the other, shakes their hands, embraces them and hands them their awards (listed in order of their appearance):

    Flidais Niafer, To Uruz, the Auroch
    Thiudareiks Gunthigg, Wulfilas
    Andabairhta Gunthigg, A Lamentation
    MacMorna Niafer, Feats of Odin

    for her presentation
